Ken, FYI: the finder on the E-M1 has different modes. I wear glasses, and
one can set the finder
to a bit smaller mode. There is a small black border, and all image info
(shutter speed, balance, iso...)
is in this small black frame. I like it more this way (reminds of the 3/4
LCD lay-out) and I have a very good overview
of the whole image, Eye placement isn't a problem anymore that way. Don't
know if this exists for the A7 or XE2 however...
